"Hey has anyone else noticed Master Korra at the academy acting a little jumpy?" Mokuba asked.
He, Rockie, and Luca were sitting outside waiting for their parents to come so they could all have a game of Nin Ball. Gaara had come threw on his promise about having a game during lunch and had pulled a lot of strings to clear the time in his schedule. Temari ended up hearing about it and was all to excited to volunteer her time and the time of her son and husband. Lee was a little to excited to hear about a 'competition of youth' and practically screamed how he and his son would win even if they weren't on the same team.
"You know what? Your right Mokuba. Master Korra has been a little jumpy and so has the teacher from 3-A. Maybe it's from that training accident they had that ended up almost disfiguring them." Rockie reminded. (1)
"Eh-You know that was one weird training accident who goes to train at night in an acidic sand pit. The sand can burn almost as well as my fathers 'Burning Sand technique', mom said they had some of the worse burns possible and she just ran out of any medicine that could have helped. Some of the kids in class are even saying a few of the burns look like really big claw marks." Luca explained as she started kicking the ball lightly.
"Speaking about kids in our class, did you guys hear a lot of their parents are on non-paid leave and those who are still working are only getting really low paying jobs? Did your dad tell you why Luca?" Mokuba asked
Luca thought for a minute and stopped dribbling the ball.
"Eh-He never said anything and I haven't really seen any council members so it mustn't be that big."
"Hey what are you guys doing just standing around. You should be trying to take off each others head in a competition of battle and strength. Oh How I miss playing Nin Ball in school and the fun it was to make everyone cry." Temari squealed happily thinking of all the good memories.
"That's why you were banned from playing this game in the academy. Besides to inflict pain isn't the point of this exercise." Garra explained quietly in his soft voice while he trailed behind with Hinata at his arm. Lee jumping behind them with glee.
There was a distinct Troublesome and in a blink Temari nailed Shikamaru in the head with a ball hard enough to make everyone flinch.
"The hell that wasn't even me. That was your kid!"
"My kid. Oh no the lazy slug is your kid and either teach him some respect or else I will!"
"...Any ways." Gaara turned away from the bickering couple as everyone looked at him. "Nin-Ball was originally a military exercise made in Suna called 'Dragon chain'. The whole point was to
learn to be able to avoid as a team while still being able to attack on call. So Begin."
"Eh-Mommy!"
"Crazy women your my mother stop trying to kill me, dad don't help her whose side are you on!"
"Glorious Youth!"
"Eh-When did Dino get here, and why are you helping them pelt us with balls? Your my bear!"
Hinata gave a small smile as she watched all her children be pelted full force by balls. Softly she rubbed her stomach and her grin grew larger. "You know they're a little crazy but they love each other a lot and they'll love you. Now let's go get the first aid kit. They'll all be needing it." (2)
~~!~~ Another little chapter.
1- I hope you got that wasn't an accident that was Gaara.
2- Hinata is talking to her unborn baby. She hasn't lost it yet, but with a family like hers who knows.
So please Review and tell me if I got the points across without telling you straight out what was happening. Thanks for reading!
